10 - Predictive Toxicology (Toxicology for Chemists - Module 10)

This module provides an overview of computational methods to predict the toxicity of chemicals. Students will learn an updated overview of the latest methods that have been successfully applied to predict toxic effects of chemicals, in addition to understanding the outlook towards at the nexus of computational sciences and toxicology. Particular emphasis is placed on carbon-based toxicants. Multiple case studies and in-class discussions and assignments are provided in the lecture slides in addition to an extensive set of homework activities for students to do outside of the classroom. You will additionally gain access to multiple GAMESS activities and problem sets.
